Penguin has long been one of my all time favorite Fleetwood Mac albums alongside Then Play On and Bare Trees. Penguin would prove to be the only album featuring both Dave Walker and Bob Weston as members of the band. There isn't a weak song on the album from Christine McVie's upbeat Remember Me and Dissatisfied to Bob Welch's haunting Revelation and Night Watch. As well as all the great in between songs like The Derelict, Bob and Christine's moving Did You Ever Love Me? to the closing Caught in the Rain. Not an album to be missed!
